====== DOKUWIKI_STARTED ======

---- dataentry event ----
Description:    DokuWiki prepares to do its work
DefaultAction:  none
Preventable:    no
Added_dt:       2006-04-25
----

The event is signalled after Dokuwiki has completed its initialization phase and before it closes the session in [[xref>doku.php]].  Most Dokuwiki globals will have been created and populated, the global $_SESSION var will still be in existence.

This is only true for the main DokuWiki template, i.e. whatever comes through ''doku.php''. The mediamanager popup uses [[MEDIAMANAGER_STARTED]] instead (comes through ''lib/exe/mediamanager.php'') and the image detail page uses [[DETAIL_STARTED]].

The [[DOKUWIKI_INIT_DONE]] event provides an alternative that will fire for all entry points that use the DokuWiki environment.

If you need an even earlier event, check out [[devel:event:init_lang_load|INIT_LANG_LOAD]], but note that not the whole environment is setup there. You could also check out [[devel:event:auth_login_check|AUTH_LOGIN_CHECK]], but again, the whole environment is NOT setup there.

Note: Even after $_SESSION has been closed a plugin can reopen the session to access session data - as long as headers have not already been sent.  For an example of this refer to [[xref>lib/plugins/config/admin.php]].
